- What attorneys should bifurcate, what about overlap, and when to file a motion in limine
- The most important thing to discuss with your client about going in front of a jury and how to prepare your client to be the best witness for themselves in front of the 12 people in the room deciding their case
- The 3 step process for voir dire, the two sentence structure she swears by, and what causes her to strike a juror
- And much, much more—if you have a jury trial in your future, this is an episode not to be missed
